Turkey is almost completely surrounded by seas, rivers and lakes and therefore has a temperate climate. The combination of sun soaked beaches, ancient cities filled with a wonderfully rich history and interesting and affordable cruises make vacations in Turkey a holiday to look forward to.
Cruises to visit eroded rock formations, spectacular volcanic gorges and ornately frescoed rock churches abound. One has so many options to choose from, mosques, ancient structures richly adorned with mosaic work, museums filled with artifacts from times gone by, theatres and much more.
Bargaining over the purchase price and sipping Turkish coffee go hand in hand when visiting one of the many markets. The spice scented air together with variety of goods on will excite and courage one to spend. Carpets, rugs and kelims of ornate designs and rich colors together with the exquisite jewelry and intricately work metal objects fill the stalls tempting the shopper.
Turkey has always been considered a strategic area. It has therefore had its share of history changing wars fought on its soil. This has led to the rich culture and varying architectural styles one see scattered around the countryside. As a result the style of food one finds here is a very tasty mix of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern.
Hiking, biking, river rafting, scuba diving, wind surfing the choices are endless that Turkey offers the tourist. Soccer is the sport of choice with a huge following and golf has recently been introduced with the construction of some fine courses.
No holiday to this area will be complete without a relaxing visit to an authentic Turkish bath. Turkish spas combine the authentic bath with the Western styled spa treatments to the less daring.
